In our new series for Bible Stream this term we will be Unpacking Relational Theology.
“Relational theology” is fundamental to who we are in Ichthus: our understanding of it affects how we view and interact with God, one another and the world. But what do we actually mean by it? In this new series we will be exploring different perspectives on Relational theology, hearing from different voices as we seek to fill out our vision of our Lord Jesus and be better equipped to see more of His kingdom here on earth! We are excited to hear input from Greg Boyd, Paul Marston and Debbie Laycock, followed up and unpacked by members of the Ichthus training team.
2nd November Bible Stream Content
For our next instalment in this series, we will be welcoming Dr Paul Marston to unpack his understanding of Relational Theology. Many will know of Paul as the co-author of God’s Strategy in Human History – a monumental work on relational theology. As well as this, Paul has written books covering topics like the Christian faith, Science, Marriage, Family and Social issues. We are very excited to hear from him in person!
In the same vein as last month, we will be starting at 2pm with a short time of worship, then we will be inviting Paul to share for an hour and a half (with a coffee break part way through!) which will be followed by a time of Q&A with Paul for those in the room and those joining online. We will be finishing up at 4:45pm.
We are now kindly asking you to book in and pay your £5 to join online so that we know in advance who is joining us and you even have the option to send in questions ahead of time so the speakers can prepare!
Please note that if you book an online ticket and are unable to attend the session, the earliest we can provide you with the session recording is by the next months bible stream. Please email us at training@ichthus.org.uk if you missed it.
How Did Bible School Begin…..
The journey Roger has led us on through the years of Bible School has been totally life-changing for so many of us and has shaped who we are in Christ, our theology and understanding of God! In this new season, Roger will continue bringing us teaching and theology via the Ichthus YouTube channel as and when he is able, but not in the same monthly Bible School format for the moment.
In recognition that Bible School was built around Roger’s unique gifting, anointing and ministry, we have slightly re-branded Bible School and named it Ichthus Bible Stream and will continue on the first Saturday of every month.
Each Ichthus Bible Stream will be made up of two sessions – the first will still contain in-depth Biblical study, analysis and historical context. The second will be more of an application and practical unpacking of how the content of the first session applies to our lives and the church today. We will still have some guest speakers and the opportunity to engage with live questions and comments.
